GUIDE FOR NEW PLAYERS!
Hello all! After getting this game a good time back, here is some help to get you newbies started.

First thing you're gonna wanna do is enter your activation key, and that can be done by
Library>SWBII>Right Click>Properties>Local Files>Browse Local Files>Install>Double Click CDKey.exe> Manually enter CD KEY (DO NOT TRY AND COPY+PASTE, DOESN'T WORK, SORRY)

For everything else, i'd start with you audio mixer first at that seems to be the blunt of the issue. Here's a full guide on everything you should consider to make this nostalgic game a perfect reminder of your childhood (or adulthood, I don't judge.)

set resolution to MAX and make sure anti-aliasing is off

other things you can try:

enable stereo mix

How to Enable Stereo Mix:
Start > Control Panel > Sound > Recording tab > If you don't see Stereo Mix, right click and select Show Disabled Devices > Enable Stereo Mix
(If you still don't see Stereo Mix, try to plug in a mic and enable it)

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+enable+stereo+mix&client=aff-maxthon-maxthon4&channel=t28&gws_rd=ssl

if plugging in a mic or headphones into the mic port does not make Stereo Mix show up, try downloading:
https://www.google.ca/search?site=&source=hp&q=stereo+mix+download&oq=stereo+mix+download&gs_l=hp.3..0l9.2880.7537.0.7660.23.16.2.5.5.0.122.1212.14j2.16.0....0...1c.1.64.hp..0.23.1224...0i131j0i10j0i3.WjTPLCJ_DpA

run as admin;
go to right click on the entire SWBF2 folder (located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common) and going to:
Properties > Security > Edit > Choose your User > give it full permissions by clicking the Allow on everything there > Apply. > Advanced > Add Permissions if you like > at the top change OWNER to your main User. > hit Apply. > then go back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common > click SWBF2 > GameData > right click on SWBF2 > at the top it should say Run as Administrator, try to run it that way, if that doesn't help, right click again > go to Properties > Compatibility > Run the program in Compatibility Mode. In Security make sure you have admin rights there also, simply go to security and check. click Edit to change Permissions, click Advanced to change Owner and more Permissions just like before with the SWBF2 folder.

delete vidmode

(vidmode is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC )

plug something into microphone port

if your game only crashes on a certain map, go to: Library > right click SWBF2 > Properties > Local Files > Verify Game Cache
(this removes mods, etc btw if you have any)

if your game crashes on a modded map/etc uninstall it and reinstall.
